The Space
For us the property has become a place to share with family, friends & others. It's close to many local attractions but has the serenity of rural living.

Guest Access
The separate bungalow, affectionately known as 'The Cattery' provides quiet, spacious accommodation and (more recently) a bathroom, featuring shower, toilet and basin.

There is an open Cabana that has a BBQ, bar fridge, running water, glassware/crockery/cutlery/speakers/music.

You will have access to the Pool, the Fernery (a quiet place to sit) and all the surrounding places to wander.

Other things to note
There is heaps of parking, caravans are welcome, and we'll be happy to help with other things you may need.

NB: It is imperative you give us an accurate ETA on the day of your arrival. It is a large property and someone needs to be on hand when you arrive to show you where to park, what areas you can access, and where lights, water and amenities are located.

Canine Friends are OK, host MUST be notified on booking; $10 fee applies per night per animal. On-lead is a must until introductions are made. There are many critters including chooks, and we like to make sure your pet(s) is not going to harm ours!

A young kelpie (Rossi) resides here permanently, as do 3 chickens, a cow or two and plenty of resident critters.

Peaceful country property

The property is very peaceful and relaxing. The bungalow is farm rustic, clean and comfy. The open outdoor kitchen is very well stocked and it is a lovely place to sit at night and have dinner or early breakfast with the birds. The fresh eggs were also very appreciated! You are a ways on country roads from most things so bring what you need with you and relax. Sandy and Rossi are great hosts. TV is DVD only which was fine for us. Note: the bathroom is only divided by a partial wall which does not offer a lot of privacy (depending on who is staying and your comfort level this is fine) however, there is spare another bathroom in the house that Sandy is happy for you to use. Thanks for making us feel welcome (even Bailey our big boof head Bernese)!

Enchanting

My children and I spent three magical nights at Charity Creek. We loved the pool, and enjoyed relaxing, cooking and eating in the Cabana, whilst taking in the beautiful views. The night sky is breathtaking and must be seen to be believed. The children enjoyed exploring the beautiful gardens and bush walks, helping to feed the chickens and playing with a much beloved puppy. Sandy is a generous, kind and attentive host, accomodating us at short notice, and making us feel welcome and at home on arrival. We were sorry to leave are already planning our next stay at this special retreat. Thank you Sandy!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Kiely

Originally form Adelaide in South Australia, Sandy lived on Sydney’s Northern Beaches until 2012, when she relocated to NSW’s beautiful Mid-North Coast on a rural property at picturesque Charity Creek. Sandy held a position on the Board of Directors at the Manning Valley Race Club and contributes in many ways to the local community.

Why they chose this property

The location is picturesque, there's natural bush in abundance and plenty of wildlife, which is an absolute delight to wake up to every morning.

Close enough to townships & villages to not go without anything, but far enough away to feel like you're secluded.

Tranquility in abundance!

What makes this property unique

"Rediscover your soul!"

Charity Creek Retreat is a working farm, with a small herd of cattle at various times, so there is always something happening, but you can be left alone to explore the property or surrounding countryside or relax & read a book, sun-bake, have a swim, cook up a storm, play a board game, sleep in, or take a nap.

The choice is yours, but you will leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated & re-invigorated.
